I find it hard to believe an iphone tachometer could be used as anything other than a gimick for a vast majority of the population. If you need one then maybe it is value for you, but I struggle to think of any circumstance when a tachometer app would be of actual non-novelty use. Nev.. '08 DL1000K8

About half that if I import a third party one from the US, and invalidate the warranty installing it. $12 is nothing. -- Jeff R.

Yes, But I'm struggling to think of a time when I might be tuning the motor and be unable to use the tacho on the instrument panel. If I needed one, I'd just use the Tach/dwell/multimeter... |
